SIR, • My Letter of the 4th of August informed their Lordships of the proposal I had , made to Lieu tenant-General Sir John Stuart, that the Islands of Zante, Cephalonia, &c. should be seized on., before the French could turn their regard from the defence of Naples, to strengthen either points, and in which Letter I inclosed . to you a copy of the Instruaions I had sent to Rear-Adtniral, Martin, to be delivered to Captain Spranger of the Warrior, wloan I had selected to command the naval part ` of the. Expedition. The change which at that time had taken place ofin the state the armies 'in the North, required the Lieutenant-General's consideration, whether' an adequate force might be spared from 'the army, and delayed their departure from Sicily, until the .:?3d September, when the Warrior sailed, from Messina; with the Philomel sloop, and transports carrying about one thousand six hundred 'troops, under the command of Brigadier-General Oswald. The Spartan at the same time sailed from Malta, with Mr. Foresti and Count, Cladan, •a Cephalonian Gentleman, who had for some time taken refuge at 'Malta, and whose• local knowledge and influence in the Country, I hoped would, be advantageous to the service. Orders were also sent to Captain Eyre of the Magnificent to join them with the 'Corfu squadron. ' . I have now great satisfaaion in informing you, Sir, Of the complete success of this Expedition, and I the French garrison in the Islands of Zante, Cephalonia, Ithaca, and Cerigo, have, after a very ' faint resistance, surrendered to his Maje'sty's arms, the people, liberated from the oppression. of the French, and the Government of the Sept' Insular Re public to be restored. As no preparation for so unexpeEted a change could have been made by the inhabitants, it has been found convenient by the Officers commanding, and by the principal people who are now to assume the Government, that the British Flag, with that of the Republic, shall be continued to fly until the several Departments arc filled, and regularity is esta ' blished. ' ' The influence of Mr. Foresti, and the estimation in which his character is held by the people, very much facilitated the operations : I - have written to him to resume his functions, of British Resident with the Republic, until he shall receive the lu - struaions of his Majesty's Ministers. I enclose, Sir, the Letters of Captains Spranger, Brenton, and Crawley, detailing the several parts ' they took in the reduction of the Islands, a copy of the Proclamation, and the Reports of the Gar risons and Stores, by which their Lordships will find with what good judgment-all the measures were take n by the Commanders , of the Sea and Land Forces, and the zeal and 'intelligence with which they w ere executed. At. Cerigo the greatest -resistance was made; but Captain Brenton's skill and resources are such as would. kirmount much greater difficulties than they could present. ' . (Signed) am, &c. COLLINGWOOD. His Majesty's Ship Warrior, 83y,0f Zante, Odober, 3, 1809. Si R, ;I have the honour to acquaint you, for the formation of the Commander in Chief, that, in pur suance of his Lordship's orders, • I sailed , from Mes sina on the 93d ultimo, in company with the sloop Philoiuel, two large gun-boats, and 'the transports, with troops under the command of 'Brigadier-General Oswald, and. proceeded off Cephalonia, where we arri\'ed on the .28th, and continued h sight of the Island until the I§t of 06tober, during which days we were joined, as had been previously arranged, by the Spartan from Malta, the Magnificent, Belle Poole, and Kingsfisher, from Corfu, and anchored that' night in the Bay of Zante, just within reach of the nearest battery. At day-light on the following morning ; the troops assembled alongside the Warrior, and under cover of the Spartan, Belle Poole, and gun-boats, who sow silenced - the batteries, landed a division of the army in the most poled order, about three miles from the town, and whilst General Oswald - was advancing, Captains Brenton and Brisbane, and the gun 7 boats, conducted by Mr. Cole, my first Lieutenant, were actively employed in. keeping the enemy, who had re-manned their batteries ; in check; ,and covering the second diseMbarkation, when the whole army moved forward and cloSely invested the castle, to which the French had tetired from every diretclion. , A Proclamation, herewith arineited, was in the Meantime distributed to the inhabitants, explana tory Of our views, and finding, 'as was eipeaed, that they rejoiced-in the expulsion of these common dis turbers of mankind, I forbore attacking with the ships a strong battery on the Mole Head,. which could no: be taken without destroying a great part of the toww; and 'have the satisfaction of adding, that in the course of the day; the eneniy t hough ad vantageously situated in a most important and coomianding r position; thought *per to capi , tu!ate on the terms which I haVe the honotir to in close.
